About Us
Mission
The mission of the United Minorities Council (UMC) is to serve as an inter-racial alliance to address the issues of people of color in the University of Pennsylvania community. College undergraduate Sheryl George-McAlpine founded the UMC in 1978 to form a stronger, unified voice for ethnic minority students on campus. Through the sponsorship of cultural and educational programs, the UMC today strives to promote cross-cultural awareness and uphold the principles of unity, diversity and understanding. Apart from its primary tasks and initiatives, the UMC also hosts two major university activities: Unity Week in the Fall and Celebration of Cultures in the Spring to achieve these goals. The UMC meets in the Greenfield Intercultural Center bi-weekly at 8:30pm on Wednesdays and all groups who are interested in inter-racial issues are encouraged to attend. The UMC also welcomes interested individuals to join as members at large.
